KBR27: ENABLING ACTIVE TRAVEL
A: All major development should demonstrate how it has sought to maximise opportunities for its occupiers, users and members of the public to engage in safe active travel by assessing the current active travel infrastructure and facilities and identifying improvements that are likely to encourage the uptake of active travel.
B: New development should provide new or improve existing infrastructure and facilities which support and encourage safe active travel to assist cyclists and pedestrians and thereby encourage more cycling and walking. Priorities and examples of suitable projects are shown in Appendix C.
C: Any new or improved infrastructure or facilities should reflect the needs of all pedestrian and cycle users including but not limited to folding bikes, push chairs, wheelchairs, push scooters, tricycles and recumbent cycles.
D: Where practicable and viable, proposals for development should be designed so as not to:
- result in a net reduction of existing active travel infrastructure;
- make existing active travel infrastructure less safe without the provision of adequate mitigation measures; or
- reduce the capacity, quality or accessibility of local facilities which support active travel (e.g. cycle or pedestrian routes, or cycle parking) without the provision of adequate mitigation measures.
